“AIYAARY” in truest of sense! Hats off to the invigorating party planner, director #NeerajPandey who has gone one step up nailing the thrill trip like never before !!

In a chat with indianexpress.com, film business and trade analyst Girish Johar said Aiyaary is eyeing a collection of Rs 4.5 crore on Friday and could even rake in Rs 15 crore by its first weekend, if supported by a solid word-of-mouth.

Aiyaary, which was earlier scheduled to release on January 26, had to postpone it release to avoid a clash with the long-delayed Padmaavat. In an interview to Indian Express, Aiyaary director Neeraj Pandey shared how the film came in to being, “It started with someone talking about the story of a whistle-blower making public a scam that stemmed from a very ordinary incident but blew up into something that toppled the then government. The wait is finally over. Hitting screens today, the Sidharth Malhotra, Manoj Bajpayee and Rakul Preet starrer is the story of an ex-army officer who plans to oust one of the country’s best-kept secrets while his former mentor is out to stop him. I fictionalised it but also padded it up with some research.”
